Every time i try to install something, upgrade or autoremove this error happens!
I've searched the web and tried some fixes but they don't seem to work, I don't have python2.7 installed only 3 and can't install python2 or anything because of this. I've tryed to sudo rm python-rpi.gpio_0.7.0-0.1~bpo10+4_armhf.deb but the file will keep comming. Pls I really need some help since I've got some work on my pi and don't want to get a new image

Some notes: I really really don't want to change the SD Card and parcially lose what I have, second I've tried sudo apt-get install -f and sudo apt update --fix-missing when i followed this guide the sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove --reinstreq command was showing this error dpkg: error: unknown force/refuse option 'remove'
As it turns out I still had remainnings of Python2 and Python3 binaries and those were not linked properly by the OS, this means that Python3 was linked to Python2 and vice-versa.
To get it working I had to:
Uninstall the Python2 dependencies
Get the link working correctly
Reinstall Python2 with wget
Verify if all links are working correctly (for Raspbian this means):
python --version links to Python2
python2 --version links to Python2
python3 --version links to Python3
Use the following commands:
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives//python-rpi.gpio_0.7.0-0.1~bpo10+4_armhf.deb
Still have the same problem, use:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-rpi.gpio.* /tmp/
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq python-rpi.gpio
A typo in your command sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove --reinstreq isn't valide. The correct option is --force-remove-reinstreq. See dpkg --force-help.

The packstack installation of openstack is failing with the following error -

Above you can see that two files (/usr/bin/websockify & /usr/share/man/man1/websockify.1.gz) are conflicting between python2-websockify & python3-websockify & so any one of them has to be removed but,
while checking the installed packages of the system I can see that python2-websockify is only available in the system but not installed in the system.
[root#controller ~]# yum list | grep -i python2-web
python2-webob.noarch 1.8.5-1.el7 #centos-ceph-nautilus
python2-websocket-client.noarch 0.54.0-1.el7 centos-ceph-nautilus
python2-websockify.noarch 0.8.0-13.el7 centos-openstack-train
[root#controller ~]# yum list installed | grep -i python2-web
python2-webob.noarch 1.8.5-1.el7 #centos-ceph-nautilus
However python3-websockify is installed in the system & I cannot remove it because the nova-novnc package has a dependency on that one.
[root#controller ~]# yum list installed | grep -i python3-web
python3-websockify.noarch 0.10.0-3.el8 #/python3-websockify-0.10.0-3.el8.noarch
Now, how can I remove the python2-websockify.noarch which is not even installed on the system?
& when it is not installed then why the error is mentioning
from install of python2-websockify-0.8.0-13.el7.noarch conflicts with file from package python3-websockify-0.10.0-3.el8.noarch
I tried to delete the python2-websockify but as it is not installed so giving following messages -
[root#controller ~]# yum remove python2-websockify-0.8.0-13.el7.noarch
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
No Match for argument: python2-websockify-0.8.0-13.el7.noarch

I've screwed up my python2.7 a few hours ago by accidentally removing (rm) the python2.7 file in /usr/bin instead of renaming it with mv because i didn't pay attention to what i was doing. So I removed everything that had to do with python2.7. I've then managed to download python 2.7.18 from the official site and executed these commands below AS ROOT:
cd /home/johnmap007/Downloads/Python-2.7.18
./configure
make
make install
python setup.py clean
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
Then I got back up and running. pip started to work ok and python gives me the interpreter when i execute it in the cmd line. I am running Kali Linux by the way. I tried installing other packages like scapy and they worked. I don't know why i can't install this specific package. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: For some reason, as i was running apt upgrade, i got errors about python2.7 not being configured the right way:

needrestart is being skipped since dpkg has failed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I have no idea what happened and i tried running dpkg --configure -a already. Can someone help me please?
That's in the standard library, so you don't need to install anything
https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html
You can start it with
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
But you should use Python3, anyway, where it's renamed
python3 -m http.server
I removed everything that had to do with python2.7
You're modifying operating system files at that point, and Kali Linux uses Python for more than your own scripting purposes. But based on /usr/bin/python2.7: not found, you could start symlink-ing files around to fix at least that error
I have installed Elasticsearch and now due to some changes done by other folks at my work place some errors keep on popping up during any operation like update, install a new package and also the elasticsearch is not working properly.

Any one with suggestions on how to solve this issue?
Also this command gives nothing
$ systemctl status systemd-sysctl.service

is systemd your init service in this installation? Also what linux distribution is this? Which version of your distribution? I am currently thinking that you might not be using systemd, but the elasticsearch package is assuming this somehow.
I'd highly appreciate if you open up a bug report in the elasticsearch repository with all of the above information, this warrants more research on the ES side (disclaimer: I'm an ES developer and keen to get this fixed :-).
Also: You can try to remove the elasticsearch package completely by running dpkg -P elasticsearch.
And in addition you can try to add set -x to /var/lib/dpkg/info/elasticsearch.postinst and run sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/elasticsearch.postinst configure
to get more debugging output
I had quite the same problem.
It is obiviously related to systemctl, not elasticsearch.
First you have to determine if u are using it.
[[ `systemctl` =~ -\.mount ]] && echo yes || echo no
In my case, the answer was "no"
So you have to enable it.
I'm having Python 2.x problems on Ubuntu 15.04. I wanted to completely uninstall and reinstall Python. I can't uninstall Python because mercurial-common depends on it. I try to remove that and I get an error:

If you type which pyclean I assume it exists.
However I suspect you python problems prevent it working. (you could try running it manually to verify this)
Unfortunately pyclean is in package python-minimal so you prolly can't uninstall this before mercurial-common.
you could try just removing it manually by:
sudo mv /usr/bin/pyclean /usr/bin/pyclean.backup
(Just remember to put it back).
Alternatively rather than completely removing python you could try just reinstalling python package .deb over the top of the existing install using dpkg --install
Essentially I am trying to get Python2.7 to work on Linux EL5, but currently with no success. Really appreciate some pointer from anyone who has done this before.
Anyone happens to know whether there is a repo to get all the dependencies (EL5 rpms if not sources) for Python 2.7?
I could find the RPMs for Python27 EL5 at http://ftp.srce.hr/redhat/test/el5/x86_64/ but still not complete.
m000772#hkl20030997 ~]$ rpm -ivh python27-2.7.2-5.2.el5.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

You can use yum, this command take care of all dependencies.
First check with the following command:
# yum search python27
And the try with the available version..for example
# yum install python27
